Everybody is asking how it is made:
The batter is poured in thin layers over the rotating spit, allowing each layer to cook before adding the next.
• The process can take hours, and requires constant rotation and precision.
• The result is a ringed interior (like tree rings) and a spiky exterior, resembling a tree trunk.
It’s Cultural and ceremonial importance:
• Šakotis is a symbol of celebration — it’s often served at weddings, Christmas, Easter, and national holidays in Lithuania.
• It represents prosperity, longevity, and family roots — fitting, given its “tree” shape.
